Splendid Vanilla

by Amélie Jacquin

Roberto Cavalli Splendid Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Amélie Jacquin. Splendid Vanilla opens with Rose and Pepper, settles into a heart of Magnolia and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Cedar, and Vanilla. Roberto Cavalli's Splendid Vanilla carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a woody, peppery vanilla with a floral twist, not your usual sweet gourmand. Some love its sophisticated mystery, others find it too masculine or overpriced. Definitely a 'try before you buy' as it's not for everyone, but if it clicks, it really clicks.

Given its strong scent profile and generally good performance, Splendid Vanilla is best suited for evening wear or cooler weather. While it's too strong for active sports or very casual daytime use, its refined woody vanilla and floral notes make it a solid choice for dates or formal events. Some find it a bit much for the office though.

About

Splendid Vanilla opens with a gentle kiss of rose and a surprising kick of black pepper, giving it an immediate edge. This quickly melts into a rich heart where magnolia blooms, underscored by the earthy, slightly dry warmth of cypriol. The base is all about the vanilla, but it's not your sweet kitchen variety; it's a deep, woody, almost leathery vanilla, fused with patchouli and cedar that ground it in sophisticated earthiness. Expect a non-gourmand, elegantly structured vanilla.
